Empowering Climate Action
Tourism & Transportation
Climate action is becoming increasingly critical in tourism. Tourism is responsible for 8% of global emissions, and climate change is affecting many of the areas travelers seek. We believe that tourism, with an intentional focus on environmental and cultural sustainability, can be regenerative, helping to restore natural ecosystems and preserve cultures while operating with a low or carbon neutral footprint.
Our services include:
-
Carbon footprint reporting for businesses
-
Carbon footprint reporting for destinations
-
Regenerative tourism strategies for destinations
-
Decarbonization strategies and action plans
-
Aligning business metrics with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
-
Alternative energy solutions and action plans

Carbon neutral events

A co-founder of IMPACT, Synergy focuses on program design, session development and published the proceedings paper and ensures every event is carbon neutral.
"Synergy was an integral part of our recent strategic planning exercise for the Hotel Association of Canada’s Green Key Global program. Synergy’s wealth of knowledge, specific to our industry, gave them the invaluable ability to work directly on our behalf with members, Board of Directors and other stakeholders to deliver an outstanding final product. Green Key Global is better positioned for future and long-term success as a direct result of our work with Synergy."
